Lycan: The Beginning

Chapter 1 ( Of Dreams and Discoveries )

He was running, tearing through the thick forest that enclosed his path. The pack was right behind him, he couldn't let them catch up, the scent of their territory line was right up ahead. If he could make it past they would have no reason to hunt him anymore. His paws were in pain and the gash at his side was burning like hell, tainting his white fur crimson.

The sound of their snarls and howls were right behind him but it didn't matter he was at the boarder and with one solid jump he'd be home free. He jumped the chasm, hearing the water down below while keeping himself from being bitten at the last minute. Then he landed on his back, in the tundra terrain of outcast wolf's.

The lycans of the forest territory growled at him and as the Alpha gave him one last bark of warning the pack morphed into their humanoid forms and run back into the cover of the forest.

He sighed as he turned back into his humanoid form his long blue hair hiding his face. He clutched his left side in agony as blood poured from the wound. He then stood shakily on thin legs and tried to walk across the snow covered ground but as he took one step he fell face first, his left leg twisted at an odd angle. He howled in pain as his vision blacked, his eyes dropping closed.

The last thing that was on his mind before the realm of unconsciousness claimed him was that the snow covered ground was tainted red.

xXx

Green-blue eyes opened in frustration as Kanan ran a hand through his sweat slick hair. That was the third time this week he had, had these dream visions and every time he would only catch a glimpse of what the blue haired child was up too.

The first time the boy was in his wolf form, laying down in a den like enclosure next to a slowly dimming fire. His golden eyes ( a color Kanan had always associated with evil ) looking into the distance waiting for something that never came.

The second time was when ( he assumed ) the boy was on one of his many "shopping sprees " Kanan had watched him, in tattered clothing and bare feet , stealing with ease. An ease no child should have but yet this blue eyed boy did. Right after that the boy had stolen from a meat rack but he was caught because of a silly mistake and Kanan was forced to watch him be punished in the most inhuman way.

His latest dream, vision, what ever you wanted to call it, the boy ( in his wolf form ) was being chased through a forest by an entire pack. The child was injured and Kanan had felt an undeniable fury in his veins but it was quickly quenched by relief as the boy made it to safety. But when he had seen the child screaming in pain and landing face first in the snow unconscious, his precious blood staining the powder red, worry grabbed his soul.

Kanan had woken up and immediately entered a meditative state trying to grasp on to the last fragments of the dream, trying to find out the reason as to why he was seeing these things but he once again came up empty handed. He growled in frustration, Kanan could tell that this boy was important, that the Force was trying to tell him something but he couldn't figure out what. He slowly stood and started to get dressed into his usual attire. As he was put his armored plate onto his shoulder the Ghosts com-link system went off.

" Can everyone meet me in the cockpit now "

He smiled at the groggy accent that came through the com-links. It looked like Hera had just woken up too and it seemed like the Twi'lek was not in a good mood. He walked out of his cabin the exact time their bomb expect did. Sabine smiled at him and gesturing for him to hurry up.

" Come on don't want to make Captain Hera more upset than she already is "

" Trust me, she'll take it out on me first Sabine "

" then you'll just have to play human shield for the rest if us Kanan "

He smirked and walked with her toward the cockpit, hearing Zeb and Chopper ( arguing as usual ) behind them. The cockpit doors opened and he suddenly wished he was back in his bed, fast asleep. Hera was pacing around, glaring out of the windows at the planet they were about to land on, then back at the communications platform they shared with Fulcrum or as they had come to know her Ashoka.

" Hera " he asked " what's wrong ? "

" What wrong ?! " yelled the Twi'lek " I'll tell you what's wrong my crew is meant to be on a vacation for two months and then Ashoka calls me saying she wants us to meet her on this force forsaken ice ball because its for they sake of the rebellion. And did I mention that it's a force forsaken ice ball ! "

Kanan smiled, there was the reason she was upset, not because their vacation time had been interrupted and they all knew Hera would never have a problem with rebellion. No the reason why Hera was upset was because she was being forced to land on an ice ridden planet. The Twi'lek had always hated the cold and he knew she'd much rather be on Jakku flying away from imperials than anywhere near a cold system.

" Hera, how about we " He gestured to the rest of the crew " take this mission while you stay on the ship and act as back up ? "

Now under normal circumstances Hera would of out right refused and hit him over the head with a metal tray for suggesting such an absurd idea but this was no normal circumstance and he could clearly see Hera silently thanking him for suggesting it.

" Your right love " she said " you'll probably need back up with all the trouble you get into anyway " Kanan shook his head at her comment as Sabine and Zeb burst out laughing. He tried to glare at them but he doubt it had any effect since he was smiling to.

" Anyway what's this planet called Hera ? " he asked

" Lycasan "

Kanan lifted a confused eyebrow at the name. It was one he had never heard before he became even more curious as to why Ashoka would ask them to meet on an unknown planet.

" Sabine can you get any Intel on this planet "

" I can try, but why now were going to be landing there soon enough "

Kanan couldn't answer that he knew it was silly but he felt… connected to this planet, he felt happy, relived that they were here which was weird since he had never heard of the planet until today. But still it was like the planet was calling to him and he wanted to find out why.

" Just please Sabine, why don't you settle an old man curiosity "

She just rolled her eyes at him and started to search through the data pad systems even hacking into a few imperial files to get information.

" Love I suggest if your going down there you wear your winter gear, I don't want to treat frostbite"

" Yes ma'am " he said as he gave her a two fingered salute and walked out of the cockpit to their " winter closet " he chuckled as pulled out each persons respective gear. His was a green thermal coat that also counted as a windbreaker with long thermal pants and snow boots along with gloves and a scarf. Sabine's was much the same except it was blue and black and came with a beanie. They were able to find Zeb a thermal cloak that had a hood attached to it along with a scarf but nothing else, and they didn't need Hera's gear so he just left it in the closet.

" Alright every one get suited up ! " he shouted and handed the clothing out to their owners. He put on his own winter gear and was already feeling warmer.

" So Sabine anything on this force forsaken ice ball that Hera has dubbed so well " He asked with a smile as he felt Hera's glare trying to burn through his skull. Sabine giggled at the sight while she projected her Intel.

" Lycansan is home to a species called Lycan. Their a humanoid/ hybrid race with many different qualities including the ability to morph into their hybrid form. They have advanced senses of hearing, scent and touch along with enhanced speed and sight. Lycans are divide into two groups Tames, who chose to follow their human side more than their hybrid side and Wilds who are the opposite. A lycans hybrid form is that of any species of wolf. "

Kanan was listening, he really was but when Sabine said wolf he shook his head in disbelief, confusion evident on his face. That was impossible it couldn't be… could it ?

"Kanan are you- "

" -Prepare for entry " said Hera gaining his and the crews attention, they smiled as Hera entered commander mode.

He was still a bit shocked about the planets indigenous people, was this really the planet where the blue haired child from his dream/visions lived ? It would make sense after all the child could morph into a wolf then back into a human. Kanan suddenly felt determined and sure that the force had led him here to find this child and that's exactly what he was going to do after their primary mission of course.

The Ghost dipped its head and entered the planets atmosphere, the hull being bombarded by a barrage of ice and wind. They all held onto their seats for safety purposes. Kanan looked through the window to try a gage where they were but it was no use he couldn't see a thing out there.

" Hera I think we should land until the storm has cleared probably the safer option "

" I would Kanan if I could see where the blasting hell I was going ! " she snapped back and he put his hands up in surrender before closing his eyes and connecting to the Force around them. He could sense life on the planet by the little blue pinpricks that came to light in his mind but they were all father east. Before he could tell Hera to fly east he sensed a slowly ebbing pinprick right up ahead calling out for help, its golden light fading fast. Kanan clenched his left side in pain as he gasped and exited they trance.

" Go straight up and then down " He said placing his hand on Hera's shoulder " I'll guide you "

" Love are you okay ? "

" I'll explain later, right now I just need you to land where I tell you "

" Alright Master Jedi " she replied

" A little less attitude a little more altitude Captain Syndulla " he teased

She rolled her emerald eyes at him and dipped the ship upward following Kanans guiding hand, the cockpit was silent as he guided her to lower the ship right on the edge of a forest.

" Land about five clicks ahead "

The Ghost dipped further and landed on snow covered ground right on the edge of a forest. They all sighed in relief and looked out the window. The storm had calmed some but to them it still looked raging, Kanan closed his eyes again and reached out through the force finding the little golden pinprick just up ahead.

" Alright Hera now lower the ramp I'm going out "

" What ! " shouted the rest of the crew and he resisted the urge to cover his ringing ears. Sabine and Zeb looked at him like he was a total idiot and Hera and her hands on her hips, her eyes saying one thing.

" Explain " He sighed

" Hera, please there's someone out here and their force sensitive. Their injured and fading fast I just need you to let me out for a few minutes I'll be fine " "

He looked at her pleading for her to let him go. He knew Hera had picked up that he had not told her the full story and he was worried that she wouldn't let him go until he told her the truth. He felt dread grip his soul as the golden light from the injured "unknown" grew dimmer. He placed his hands on her shoulders.

" Please Hera " He asked again and then he smiled in triumph as she shook her head slightly a fond smile on her face.

" Where was all this Jedi compassion when I met you ? " She asked

" Hmm probably buried under tones of alcohol " she giggled at that and lightly punched him on his arm.

" Fine but Zeb will go with and if your not back in fifteen minutes I'm sending Chop and Sabine after you, got it " He nodded, then with a sly smile and a wave of his hand he retorted.

" To scared to come and find us yourself captain " a warning through the force was all he got and Kanan ducked a punch aimed at his head and laughed as he backed out of the cockpit looking toward a fuming Hera. Then he turned to Zeb who was chuckling and motioned from the Lasat to follow him. Both walked out of the cockpit and through the halls toward the ramp, sliding down the ladder that lead them there. He then snatched his com-link from off his belt and radioed Hera.

" Please open up the hatch for us Hera " He asked in a sickly sweet voice

" Shut it " she snapped and then a moment later the ramp dropped down allowing the full force of the weather to hit them dead on.

" I've said this before and I'll say it again, Your crazy Kanan ! " shouted Zeb over the roar of the wind.

" Opinion noted buddy, now come on ! " he shouted walking off the ramp and onto snow covered ground, his hoodie protecting most of his face from the icy shards.

" Be safe " he heard Hera tell him through the com-link and he smiled.

" Will do " He said as Zeb caught up to him. He could hear the Lasat cursing under his breath, much like Hera would do if she was the one out here.

" So where's this force sensitive " Zeb asked

" The edge off the Forest, now hurry up He's fading fast "

" He ? How do you know if its a boy "

Kanan froze for a minute, cursing himself for letting that detail slip. It wasn't like he knew it was the blue haired child that was calling out to him through the force. But this forest, the whole area just seemed familiar to him and he knew where he had seen it from, his latest dream/vision. He turned back to Zeb with a forced smile.

" I can tell " He said and Zeb just nodded and carried on walking through the thick snow. Kanan sighed in relief, it wasn't that he didn't want the crew to know about his visions it was just… they were personal. He couldn't help but feel connected to this child and he knew it was stupid but he wanted to keep the visions to himself, he wanted to keep the child to himself.

" Its stupid " he thought " but its true "

" Kanan ! You should see this "

Kanan brought himself out of his musings and ran to catch up with the Lasat, who was standing near a tree right next to a chasms. He looked around until he caught a flash of orange under a sheet of white. As he looked closer he saw red under the snow, a pale hand sticking out and frost covered blue hair.

" No " he thought " No, no, no "

Kanan ran toward the heap of snow not even hearing Zeb call out for him. He reached out through the force, feeling the golden light coming off the figure. Kanan was now certain that the unknown signature was coming from the person covered by all that snow. The signature was coming from the blue hair boy he had been seeing in his dreams.

He fell to his knees beside the boy and started to dig him out of the snow. As he lifted him out of the snow and onto his lap, he breathed a sigh of relief but also felt worry rising to the surface. Kanan pushed the boys hair away from his face and smiled slightly. This was the child, he could feel it through the force.

" Kanan is that… " He turned back to face Zeb and nodded. Zeb looked grim and knelt down beside them.

" Boss.. What happened ? "

" I don't know " he answered as his mind whispered back " liar " Zeb nodded and stood up. " We need to get him back to the Ghost, Kids lost a lot of blood and looks about half frozen "

" You're right let's go " He said, then he put one arm around the boys shoulder and the other under his legs lifting him up bridal style, smiling when the boy layed his head on his shoulder. He stood and started walking back holding the kid closely to himself trying to share what body heat he had left.

The blizzard was gone now replaced by softly falling snow. They saw the Ghosts open ramp up ahead and Kanan sighed in relief as they sped up the pace. Sabine and Hera were waiting for them in the cargo hold, both gasping when they saw the child in his arms.

" Sabine go prep the med-bay, Kanan follow me " said Hera as Sabine ran to their med-bay and he and Zeb followed their mother hen pilot.

" What happened ? " She asked as she pulled open their "closet " and pulled out a thermal blanket giving it to Zeb to carry.

" We don't know we just found him lying in the snow, half dead Kids not looking good at all " answered Zeb as they walked into the med-bay. Kanan walk to the bed and carefully layed the boy down, watching as his small frame sunk into the bed. This boy was so frail, to light for his age ( not that he knew the boys age the dreams hadn't told him that )

" Right everyone out, I need to treat him with out interruption " Zeb and Sabine nodded then left the room the door swishing closed behind them.

" Kanan " she asked while he looked over the boy, placing the thermal blanket on child. " I want the truth Kanan "

" I know what happened to him " he said as he looked back at the boy, grimacing when he caught sight of the fading burses on his face.

" I saw it he was being chased through the forest by a pack of Lycans, they injured him on his left side and I think he broke his leg when he jumped the chasm. Hera I've been seeing this boy in my dreams, the force has been sending me images of his life. I cant explain it but I feel… connected to him, like I know him "

" Maybe the force meant for you to find him, it would explain your connection "

He just nodded and turned back to the blue haired boy, watching him intently waiting from any signs of waking. Hera smiled and started to treat her newest patient. Kanan watched her as she pulled off the boys holey shirt and wrap his blood side in bandages, then he saw her bandaging the kids left leg up. Then she went and lifted up the boys head to warp a bandage around a cut at the back of his head.

" there we go " she said as he looked toward her " warmth, rest and this little Lycan will be up in no time "

" How did you know he was a Lycan ? " He asked and Hera looked back with one of her " I'm not stupid faces " he chuckled and rubbed the back of his head.

" Right Lycasan, Lycan your not stupid "

" glad you think so love, now go get changed your clothes are soaking, and see if you can find anything for him " said Hera as she gestured to the sleeping boy. He saluted her and ran back to his cabin, getting changed into grey pants and a green turtle neck. Then he rummaged through his cupboard and found a blue skivvy and black long pants.

He walked back into the med-bay and saw his whole crew surrounding their guest. He laughed and walked to stand next to Hera.

" Here we are " he said handing the blue skivvy and pants to the Twi'lek. Then he went to sit beside the boy looking at his no longer pale face. Kanan reached through the force and gently probed the boys mind. He was surprised to see the incredibly strong mental shields blocking his path. Kanan exited his trance and looked at the boy curiously. He had never met an untrained force sensitive with such strong shields, he just have to find out how they were built and when they were, and he'd also have to find out the kids name. Calling him the boy was getting tiring.

" Kanan.. " whispered Hera and he looked to her confusion on his face, then he saw her pointed finger and he looked back at the boy. Nothing seemed wrong, he was breathing, no longer pale and his bright blue eyes looked…

Bright blue open eyes looked into his with fear, confusion and curiosity.

Kanan stared at the awake child in shock as the kid turned his head and turned to look at the crew. Then in a flash the child shot out of the bed and landed on the floor. But as he did he howled and fell forward into Kanans waiting arms.

" Whoa kid ! Calm down were not going to hurt you " he said as he set the squirming child onto the bed, holding the boys shoulders.

" Where am I ! Let me go you Empire scum ! "

" Calm down ! " He yelled " Your safe ! "

Kanan then sent calming waves toward the child, and the boy froze looking toward him in confusion. Kanan sighed and smiled slightly at the boy.

" Your safe, my friend and I " he pointed to Zeb " found you unconscious in the snow. You were badly hurt so we brought you back to our ship for treatment.

The boy looked nervously over at Zeb and he would swear to his dying day that the kids eyes flashed gold while he was observing the Lasat.

" Where am I ? " the boy asked his voice had turned neutral, but Kanan could still sense some fear coming off the boy even if the kids metal shields were blocking most of it.

" Your on my ship, called the Ghost welcome little Lycan " said Hera and Kanan realized to late that he should of stopped Hera from saying that. The boys eyes narrowed and they turned golden with silted pupils, his nails turned to claws and a deep growl filled the room.

" How did you know what I am " the boy said and Kanan carefully put his hands on the boys shoulders.

" Calm down kid if your calm I'll answer all your questions understood " the boy growled at him but relented and turned back to his human self.

" Talk " said the boy and Kanan nodded

" First of all I'm Kanan this is my crew Hera , Zeb , Sabine and Chopper we are a Rebel cell part of phoenix squadron so we have nothing to do with the Empire. We found you injured and treated your injuries. Right now your in our med-bay and we know you're a Lycan because were on Lycasan and also because of your little demonstration. All questions settled ? "

The boy nodded curtly observing each member of the crew before looking downward at his leg. Kanan smiled gently and looked into the boys blue eyes.

" Alright now its my turn, What's your name kid ? " the boy once again looked wary as he crossed his arms across his chest.

" why should I tell you "

" maybe because we saved your life and we told you ours ? Fair trade wouldn't you say " He smirked at the boy who bowed his head and sighed mumbling under his breath.

" Sorry kid didn't here you " He said on hand cupped over his ear, mocking the boy. The boy scowled at him and looked up with eyes that could turn water to ice.

" Ezra my name is Ezra " Ezra said as Kanan felt the boys anger fade, replaced by curiosity as he gazed at a talking Chopper. Kanan smiled and held out his hand gaining Ezra's attention.

" its nice to meet you Ezra " Ezra looked at him nervously before giving off a soft smile.

" Nice to meet you too Kanan "

He smiled feeling their connection when their hands shook, the force was rejoicing he was sure. He looked again at Ezra, the blue hair boy from his dream.

" I finally know his name " he thought

He knew the name of the boy that wormed his way into his heart from just seeing him in a dream, Made him want to find him and get to know him. Kanan looked into electric blue eyes and smiled in contentment. He found the boy, he found Ezra and he was determine to find out why the force brought the together.

" Well done " said a voice in his ear and he felt mirth, mirth in the force.

" Interesting "
